New Chops menu, including the children's menu

[MrsPete]

Children's menu? Only a few years ago these restaurants were often called "The Adults Only Restaurants". Now they're called Specialty Restaurants and seem to be encouraging children.

Hah... love it

 

The current (last week) Oasis Chops menu has, at a price of $35 pp, the Petite Filet at 6oz and the main Filet at 9oz. Thats 1oz less for each than the old menu at a $5 markup per person.

 

Not that the $5 made any difference when they pressure the heck out of you to get a >$100 bottle of wine to go with your meal.

Specialty restaurant (d)evolution:

 

1. Specialty restaurants are only for adults. 13 and up welcome.

 

2. Specialty restaurants are only for adults after 7 p.m. You can bring your children if you eat before 7.

 

3. Specialty restaurants are only for adults after 7 p.m. You can bring your children as long as your reservation is up until 6:59 P.M. Feel free to still be there at 9 P.M. when they are thoroughly exhausted and cranky and adults are trying to enjoy a premium experience.

 

4. Specialty restaurants welcome passengers of all ages. Go for it. After all, it's YOUR vacation, too.

 

5. Specialty restaurants cannot WAIT to have you bring your children. As a matter of fact, we now have a special menu for children 12 and under, and we only charge $8 for them, and if they are 5 or younger, they are free! No charge! Bring the babies! Stop by the Royal Tots & Nursery on your way in and pick up a few extra.

Laughed out loud...and then cried at what is becoming "unspecialty" dining for us. Maybe adults should show up at the kid's areas and start playing with their toys. Why should their areas be "special" for them :-)

Did they always charge for specialty items as additional fees (not in the cover charge) or is this new? Are they worth the additional cost?
